A cars heater fan control should work I think.
There in the 20 amp DC range, and how cool would that "low, medium, and high" look on a PC? Hmmm, bigger cars like Buicks etc, use a climate control with LED display...there's a temp read out, and auto/manual fan control waiting to happen with the right wiring. |

ok...I never guessed Brad as the criminally minded type.
I was thinking wrecker, or parts car type of thing. Too bad, I just scrapped an older Riviera last year. ...not that I'd know how to do the custom wiring. |

In operation they are just like a regular rheostat, only you slide the middle contact along the body of the resistor to adjust the resistance. Once you have it at the desired resistance you tighten a screw down on the slider for full contact. (one side of the resistor has a flat surface where the sliding center lead makes contact with the windings of the resistor). As I said, not as easily adjustable as a regular rheostat, but a lot cheaper |
